I (stupidly) got trashed on speed at the weekend. I now have two assignments to write up for university and have a brain that resembles a scrambled egg. My concentration level is poor and I'm really tired...I've tried loading up on vitamins, drinking lots of water, eating well, a bit of exercise and some caffiene and psuedoephedrine but I'm still struggling to focus at my usual level.

I've never used speed as a study aid before and I've heard of people using prescription adderall etc for study but not so much street speed. The stuff I have is in the wet, 'base' form and very strong. I'm debating whether to have a tiny amount just to kick my brain into gear but don't want to make the situation any worse. I also do speed in a social setting with alcohol and usually overdo it..so obviously under those conditions I can't study but I'm hoping that low dose will help sharpen me up...or at least keep me awake! (The possible negative outcome being that it doesnt sharpen me up and I instead end up very awake, very paranoid/stressed and still unable to do anything!)

Any thoughts, experiences?
 
if that's your only choice than i would say go for it.. my advice would be to take the speed with a low-medium dose of a benzo to counteract any of the "very awake and paranoid" feelings you described you might get from dosing more speed, and let it allow you to focus more on the task at hand.
 
It might work better than nothing at all (depending on how you are normally) but I find that speed just makes me way too damn jittery to sit down and do anything. I have to move.
 
imo the best way to get over drugs is to go clean. enough sleep and eating till you recover. i find with every hour clean i get bit better. i have never bought into the idea of taking more and more mixture of stuff to fix the damage already done. i suppose it does depend when ur deadline is tho :S
 
Yeah hes not asking to fix damage just asking to get his shit done since the damage is already done.

At least i hope it goes without saying that he will feel twice as shitty/unable to concentrate after doing this.
 
Does this actually work? We can't get Adderall in the UK. I've read about some dealers reportedly having it, but I have yet to see any. As such there is street speed which seems to share alot of the same characteristics. Wouldn't you get a bit to jittery to be able to focus and read though? Also, how much street speed would you consider enough for a learning aid but not to go get mashed off your face?
 
what chemical are you guys talking about when you say street speed... are you talking about methamphetamine, dextroamphetamine, or amphetamine.. what chemical is this "street speed"
 
ok. I get presciption adderall in the states. and when i take a hit load, and feel really foggy and out of it the next day, a small dose of 20mg's will deffinately clear my head up and let me focus. so i'd suggest taking half of your decent recreational dose, adn you will have a good focused mind, but careful cause its easy to take more
 
Street speed is supposed to be mixed isomer amphetamine sulfate right?

Shouldn't be that much of a chemical difference between that and Adderall.

I'm going to echo what H O O D said, take a benzo or have a benzo on hand so you can focus on your homework/studying instead of getting sucked into other random tasks like cleaning your whole house or washing your car six times or whatever.
 
the chances are that by taking more speed, youll just be making things worse. if you have time, just wait a couple of days till youre feeling alright again and get stuck into the work.
 
Since time is a factor, I'd say take another dose. Start small and work up until you feel "focused" again; too much will just jack you, but "enough" will at least clear the fog from your mind and get you concentrating again. If you still feel too jacked up, follow others' advice and get a benzo if possible.
The only reason I'm recommending doing more is because I'm also a college student who occasionally messes around with speed (pharmaceutical--I live in the USA, but what's the difference once it hits your brain, right?). Therefore, I know exactly what kind of conundrum you are in.
 
i would definitely recommend trying more speed. like others have said, just don't go overboard w/ it. i don't see why it couldn't work similarly to aderall in moderate doses (and w/out the alcohol/partying that often comes w/ street uppers)

when are the assignments due? if possible try and recover for a couple of days then use a small oral dose when writing your work up. thing is this kind of use will lead to addiction if you use both recreationally and for school:\

been there done that wouldn't advise it as once you have fried your brain with speed the paranoia and shit gets worse and the motivation isn't quite as powerful as the shit in the corner of your eye and the faint sound of voices in your head.

you need access to benzo's to help cope with the lack of sleep and eating from the speed,

if possible go to the doctor while on the comedown, say you are feeling depressed (not a lie on a speed comedown) and get a sick note- only worthwhile if you need a long time to recover

sick notes for the win
